Eagleheart (only song that is truly worth it from BOTH elements cds...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2HhJkOsFus
 
LOL, I don't own Episodes (yet) so I had to youtube a few tracks and felt this one was ok enough. Far from a "hits" list I just wanted to give Mosh an idea of their sound.
 
My recommendations:
Twilight Symphony from Fourth Dimension - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Clh6JyPrltE
Father Time from Episode - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW_iWhwfiLE
The Abyss Of Your Eyes from Visions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK33rRjw0zI
S.O.S. from Destiny - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRUd6ABZ5jw
A Million Light Years Away - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBRYILfhpqk
Blind from Polaris - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKP1urq8ZZ0
Event Horizon from Elysium - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oFqeMebLnY
:rocker:

P.S. I haven't listened to first 3 albums, Elements, Part 1 and 2 and Stratovarius.
 
That is a great song. This thread is slowly becoming The Power Metal thread considering we are discussing the three bands that heavily shaped the genre.
 
My choices:

Freetime

As Time Goes By
Father & Son
The Spirit

Time To Break Free
Afterlife

Heavy Metal Mania

Men Martians & Machines
No Stranger
Watcher In The Sky
 
:rocker:

That powerful tribute to Ingo Schichtenberg sure might return!

I personally hope for one of these 5 as well:

Father & Son
The Spirit
Heavy Metal Mania
Men Martians & Machines
No Stranger
Watcher In The Sky

All magnificent songs, each in their own way.
 
Here's the latest setlist:
Welcome_Rising Of The Damned
01. Anywhere In The Galaxy
02. Men, Martians & Machines
03. The Spirit
04. Farewell
05. Gamma Ray
06. Money
07. Time To Break Free
08. Rebellion In Dreamland (Acoustic)
09. Send Me A Sign (Acoustic)
10. Dethrone Tyranny
11. Watcher In The Sky
12. Hold Your Ground
13. A While In Dreamland
14. Rise
15. Brothers
16. Insurrection
17. Gorgar_Future World

There goes our last chance of seeing Afterlife live :( If they didn't play it now, they never will :(

I need to sample it more before deciding to buy it or not. I'm a huge fan, but I've grown tired with their inconsistency to make solid records.

I totally agree.

AWESOME! Kiske rules!

I'll just post some of my thoughts about Helloween:
I would love to see a Helloween reunion with Kiske...but...it would be good if they could do it like Sabbath did: call the band Keepers Of The Seven Keys or something like that, and leave the current lineup as it is. There's one problem about this: Kiske and Weikath are not on good terms. Since I never liked Weikath, I could live with a reunion without him. Lineup could be something like this: Kiske, Hansen, Gerstner or Grapow, Grosskopf and Löble or Kusch.
 
Ingo is a legendary drummer, but... I think that Kusch is more technical plus he's a fantastic songwriter. Of course, I would've loved to see Ingo in a reunion if he was alive.

Sorry for the late reaction, but cool to see that 4 of my picks made it.

The Spirit
Time To Break Free
Men Martians & Machines
Watcher In The Sky
 
Just picked up Land of the Free today and I must say it's very good. It didn't make the huge immediate impact that Keeper Part 1 (and especially Halloween) did when I first heard that maybe a month ago now, but it's already starting to grow on me.

Helloween to rock biggest festival- show of their career!!

The incredible number of over fivehundred-thousand (500.000 !!!) people attended the pumpkins headliner show last friday at the Przystanek Woodstock Festival 2011 in Poland.

Although having played to huge audiences around the globe before, such as "Rock in Rio" and "Castle Donnington" in the UK,  this was an outstanding experience for the boys who put on great show energized by half a million people!

Helloween says a big " Thank you" to all the fans and people at the Przystanek Woodstock Festival who made this overwhelming night become one to always be remembered!!!
